We fondly remember the Hollywood swing. The Hollywood swing has its roots in early 20th-century England. The first upholstered swing benches appeared there in 1909. From there, they made their way to the U.S., where they became very popular as “porch swings” on suburban porches. The piece of furniture didn’t get its characteristic name until the 1950s, thanks to U.S. films in which the swings were often featured and conveyed a sense of luxury and vacation. This feeling can’t be described—it has to be experienced. If you have space in your garden or room for a smaller version on your patio or balcony, this feeling can become a reality. You can experience this feeling for yourself. A beautiful Balinese swing is ready for you to try out at LivingDreams—once in Santa Maria and, for the past two weeks, in Molina/Portixol.
Next to the swing, you’ll find numerous pieces of furniture made in-house and high-quality decorative items—for both indoor and outdoor use. The restaurant in Santa Maria is particularly special, nestled in a beautiful garden. It offers a perfect blend of culinary delights and stylish décor. The restaurant is located in the backyard of the Stadtpalais. A treat for all the senses. Let yourself be carried away by the unique swings and islands from the renowned manufacturer Dedon.
